Peter Dale ScottI know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in
America, and we must see to it that this agency [the National Security
Agency] and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the
law and under proper supervision, so that we never cross over that
abyss. That is the abyss from which there is no return."-- Senator Frank Church (1975)I would like to discuss four major and badly understood events – the
John F. Kennedy assassination, Watergate, Iran-Contra, and 9/11. I will
analyze these deep events as part of a deeper political process linking
them, a process that has helped build up repressive power in America at
the expense of democracy. In recent years I have been talking about a dark force behind these
events -- a force which, for want of a better term, I have clumsily
called a “deep state,” operating both within and outside the public
state. Today for the first time I want to identify part of that dark
force, a part which has operated for five decades or more at the edge of
the public state. This part of the dark force has a name not invented
by me: the Doomsday Project, the Pentagon’s name for the emergency
planning “to keep the White House and Pentagon running during and after a
nuclear war or some other major crisis.”1My point is a simple and important one: to show that the Doomsday
Project of the 1980s, and the earlier emergency planning that developed
into it, have played a role in the background of all the deep events I
shall discuss.More significantly, it has been a factor behind all three of the
disturbing events that now threaten American democracy. The first of
these three is what has been called the conversion of our economy into a
plutonomy – with the increasing separation of America into two classes,
into the haves and the have-nots, the one percent and the 99 percent.
The second is America’s increasing militarization, and above all its
inclination, which has become more and more routine and predictable, to
wage or provoke wars in remote regions of the globe. It is clear that
the operations of this American war machine have served the one percent.2The third – my subject today -- is the important and increasingly
deleterious impact on American history of structural deep events:
mysterious events, like the JFK assassination, the Watergate break-in,
or 9/11, which violate the American social structure, have a major
impact on American society, repeatedly involve law-breaking or violence,
and in many cases proceed from an unknown dark force.There are any number of analyses of America’s current breakdown in
terms of income and wealth disparity, also in terms of America’s
increasing militarization and belligerency. What I shall do today is I
think new: to argue that both the income disparity – or what has been
called our plutonomy -- and the belligerency have been fostered
significantly by deep events.We must understand that the income disparity of America’s current
economy was not the result of market forces working independently of
political intervention. In large part it was generated by a systematic
and deliberate ongoing political process dating from the anxieties of
the very wealthy in the 1960s and 1970s that control of the country was
slipping away from them.This was the time when future Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell, in a
1971 memorandum, warned that survival of the free enterprise system
depended on “careful long-range planning and implementation” of a
well-financed response to threats from the left.3 This
warning was answered by a sustained right-wing offensive, coordinated by
think tanks and funded lavishly by a small group of family foundations.4 We
should recall that all this was in response to serious riots in Newark,
Detroit, and elsewhere, and that increasing calls for a revolution were
coming from the left (in Europe as well as America). I will focus today
on the right’s response to that challenge, and on the role of deep
events in enhancing their response.What was important about the Powell memorandum was less the document
itself than the fact that it was commissioned by the United States
Chamber of Commerce, one of the most influential and least discussed
lobbying groups in America. And the memorandum was only one of many
signs of that developing class war in the 1970s, a larger process
working both inside and outside government (including what Irving
Kristol called an “intellectual counterrevolution”), which led directly
to the so-called “Reagan Revolution.”5It is clear that this larger process has been carried on for almost
five decades, pumping billions of right-wing dollars into the American
political process. What I wish to show today is that deep events have
also been integral to this right-wing effort, from the John F. Kennedy
assassination in 1963 to 9/11. 9/11 resulted in the implementation of
“Continuity of Government” (COG) plans (which in the Oliver North Iran
Contra Hearings of 1987 were called plans for “the suspension of the
U.S. constitution”). These COG plans, building on earlier COG planning,
had been carefully developed since 1982 in the so-called Doomsday
Project, by a secret group appointed by Reagan. The group was composed
of both public and private figures, including Donald Rumsfeld and Dick
Cheney.

Oliver North testifying in the Iran Contra Hearings

I shall try to show today that in this respect 9/11 was only the
culmination of a sequence of deep events reaching back to the Kennedy
assassination if not earlier, and that the germs of the Doomsday Project
can be detected behind all of them.More specifically, I shall try to demonstrate about these deep events that

1) prior bureaucratic misbehavior by the CIA and similar agencies helped to make both the Kennedy assassination and 9/11 happen;2) the consequences of each deep event included an increase in
top-down repressive power for these same agencies, at the expense of
persuasive democratic power;63) there are symptomatic overlaps in personnel between the perpetrators of each of these deep events and the next;4) one sees in each event the involvement of elements of the
international drug traffic – suggesting that our current plutonomy is
also to some degree a narconomy;5) in the background of each event (and playing an increasingly
important role) one sees the Doomsday Project -- the alternative
emergency planning structure with its own communications network,
operating as a shadow network outside of regular government channels.

Bureaucratic Misbehavior as a Factor Contributing to both the JFK Assassination and 9/11Both the JFK assassination and 9/11 were facilitated by the way the
CIA and FBI manipulated their files about alleged perpetrators of each
event (Lee Harvey Oswald in the case of what I shall call JFK, and the
alleged hijackers Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi in the case of
9/11). Part of this facilitation was the decision on October 9, 1963 of
an FBI agent, Marvin Gheesling, to remove Oswald from the FBI watch list
for surveillance. This was shortly after Oswald’s arrest in New Orleans
in August and his reported travel to Mexico in September. Obviously
these developments should normally have made Oswald a candidate for increased surveillance.7This misbehavior is paradigmatic of the behavior of other agencies,
especially the CIA, in both JFK and 9/11. Indeed Gheesling’s behavior
fits very neatly with the CIA’s culpable withholding from the FBI, in
the same month of October, information that Oswald had allegedly met in
Mexico City with a suspected KGB agent, Valeriy Kostikov.8 This
also helped ensure that Oswald would not be placed under surveillance.
Indeed, former FBI Director Clarence Kelley in his memoir later
complained that the CIA’s withholding of information was the major
reason why Oswald was not put under surveillance on November 22, 1963.9A more ominous provocation in 1963 was that of Army Intelligence, one
unit of which in Dallas did not simply withhold information about Lee
Harvey Oswald, but manufactured false intelligence that seemed designed
to provoke retaliation against Cuba. I call such provocations phase-one
stories, efforts to portray Oswald as a Communist conspirator (as
opposed to the later phase-two stories, also false, portraying him as a
disgruntled loner). A conspicuous example of such phase-one stories is a
cable from the Fourth Army Command in Texas, reporting a tip from a
Dallas policeman who was also in an Army Intelligence Reserve unit:Assistant Chief Don Stringfellow, Intelligence Section, Dallas Police Department, notified 112th
INTC [Intelligence] Group, this Headquarters, that information obtained
from Oswald revealed he had defected to Cuba in 1959 and is a
card-carrying member of Communist Party.”10This cable was sent on November 22 directly to the U.S. Strike
Command at Fort MacDill in Florida, the base poised for a possible
retaliatory attack against Cuba.11The cable was not an isolated aberration. It was supported by other
false phase-one stories from Dallas about Oswald’s alleged rifle, and
specifically by concatenated false translations of Marina Oswald’s
testimony, to suggest that Oswald’s rifle in Dallas was one he had owned
in Russia.12These last false reports, apparently unrelated, can also be traced to officer Don Stringfellow’s 488th Army Intelligence Reserve unit.13 The
interpreter who first supplied the false translation of Marina’s words,
Ilya Mamantov, was selected by a Dallas oilman, Jack Crichton, and
Deputy Dallas Police Chief George Lumpkin.14 Crichton and Lumpkin were also the Chief and the Deputy Chief of the 488th Army Intelligence Reserve unit.15 Crichton
was also an extreme right-winger in the community of Dallas oilmen: he
was a trustee of the H.L. Hunt Foundation, and a member of the American
Friends of the Katanga Freedom Fighters, a group organized to oppose
Kennedy’s policies in the Congo.We have to keep in mind that some of the Joint Chiefs were furious
that the 1962 Missile Crisis had not led to an invasion of Cuba, and
that, under new JCS Chairman Maxwell Taylor, the Joint Chiefs, in May
1963, still believed “that US military intervention in Cuba is
necessary.”16 This was six months after Kennedy, to resolve
the Missile Crisis in October 1962, had given explicit (albeit highly
qualified) assurances to Khrushchev, that the United States would not invade Cuba.17 This
did not stop the J-5 of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (the JCS Directorate
of Plans and Policy) from producing a menu of “fabricated provocations
to justify military intervention.”18 (One proposed example of
“fabricated provocations” envisioned “using MIG type aircraft flown by
US pilots to … attack surface shipping or to attack US military.”)19The deceptions about Oswald coming from Dallas were immediately
post-assassination; thus they do not by themselves establish that the
assassination itself was a provocation-deception plot. They do however
reveal enough about the anti-Castro mindset of the 488th Army
Intelligence Reserve unit in Dallas to confirm that it was remarkably
similar to that of the J-5 the preceding May – the mindset that produced
a menu of “fabricated provocations” to attack Cuba. (According to
Crichton there were “about a hundred men in [the 488th Reserve unit] and about forty or fifty of them were from the Dallas Police Department.”)20It can hardly be accidental that we see this bureaucratic misbehavior
from the FBI, CIA, and military, the three agencies with which Kennedy
had had serious disagreements in his truncated presidency.21 Later in this paper I shall link Dallas oilman Jack Crichton to the 1963 emergency planning that became the Doomsday Project.Analogous Bureaucratic Misbehavior in the Case of 9/11Before 9/11 the CIA, in 2000-2001, again flagrantly withheld crucial
evidence from the FBI: evidence that, if shared, would have led the FBI
to surveil two of the alleged hijackers, Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaz
al-Hazmi. This sustained withholding of evidence provoked an FBI agent
to predict accurately in August, 2001, that “someday someone will die.”22 After
9/11 another FBI agent said of the CIA: “They [CIA] didn’t want the
bureau meddling in their business—that’s why they didn’t tell the
FBI.... And that’s why September 11 happened. That is why it happened. .
. . They have blood on their hands. They have three thousand deaths on
their hands”23 The CIA’s withholding of relevant evidence
before 9/11 (which it was required by its own rules to supply) was
matched in this case by the NSA.24Without these withholdings, in other words, neither the Kennedy
assassination nor 9/11 could have developed in the manner in which they
did. As I wrote in American War Machine, it would appear thatOswald (and later al-Mihdhar) had at some prior point been selected asdesignated subjects for an operation. This would not initially have
been for the commission of a crime against the American polity: on the
contrary, steps were probably taken to prepare Oswald in connection with
an operation against Cuba and al-Mihdhar [I suspect] for an operation
against al-Qaeda. But as [exploitable] legends began to accumulate about
both figures, it became possible for some witting people to subvert the
sanctioned operation into a plan for murder that would later be covered
up. At this point Oswald (and by analogy al-Mihdhar) was no longer just
a designated subject but also now a designated culprit.25Kevin Fenton, in his exhaustive book Disconnecting the Dots,
has since reached the same conclusion with respect to 9/11: “that, by
the summer of 2001, the purpose of withholding the information had
become to allow the attacks to go forward.”26 He has also
identified the person chiefly responsible for the misbehavior: CIA
officer Richard Blee, Chief of the CIA’s Bin Laden Unit. Blee, while
Clinton was still president, had been one of a faction inside CIA
pressing for a more belligerent CIA involvement in Afghanistan, in
conjunction with the Afghan Northern Alliance.27 This then happened immediately after 9/11, and Blee himself was promoted, to become the new Chief of Station in Kabul.28How CIA and NSA Withholding of Evidence in the Second Tonkin Gulf Incident, Contributed to War with North VietnamI will spare you the details of this withholding, which can be found in my American War Machine,
pp. 200-02. But Tonkin Gulf is similar to the Kennedy assassination and
9/11, in that manipulation of evidence helped lead America – in this
case very swiftly – into war.Historians such as Fredrik Logevall have agreed with the assessment
of former undersecretary of state George Ball that the US destroyer
mission in the Tonkin Gulf, which resulted in the Tonkin Gulf incidents,
“was primarily for provocation.”29 The planning for this
provocative mission came from the J-5 of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the
same unit that in 1963 had reported concerning Cuba that, “the
engineering of a series of provocations to justify military intervention
is feasible.”30The NSA and CIA suppression of the truth on August 4 was in the
context of an existing high-level (but controversial) determination to
attack North Vietnam. In this respect the Tonkin Gulf incident is
remarkably similar to the suppression of the truth by CIA and NSA
leading up to 9/11, when there was again a high-level (but
controversial) determination to go to war.Increases in Repressive Power After Deep EventsAll of the deep events discussed above have contributed to the
cumulative increase of Washington’s repressive powers. It is clear for
example that the Warren Commission used the JFK assassination to
increase CIA surveillance of Americans. As I wrote in Deep Politics, this was the result ofthe Warren Commission’s controversial recommendations that the Secret
Service’s domestic surveillance responsibilities be increased (WR
25-26). Somewhat illogically, the Warren Report concluded both that
Oswald acted alone (WR 22), . . . and also that the Secret Service, FBI,
CIA, should coordinate more closely the surveillance of organized
groups (WR 463). In particular, it recommended that the Secret Service
acquire a computerized data bank compatible with that already developed
by the CIA.31This pattern would repeat itself four years later with the assassination ofRobert Kennedy. In the twenty-four hours between Bobby’s shooting and hisdeath, Congress hurriedly passed a statute— drafted well in advance
(like the Tonkin Gulf Resolution of 1964 and the Patriot Act of 2001) —
that still further augmented the secret powers given to the Secret
Service in the name of protecting presidential candidates.32This was not a trivial or benign change: from this swiftly considered
act, passed under Johnson, flowed some of the worst excesses of the
Nixon presidency.33The change also contributed to the chaos and violence at the Chicago
Democratic Convention of 1968. Army intelligence surveillance agents,
seconded to the Secret Service, were present both inside and outside the
convention hall. Some of them equipped the so-called “Legion of Justice
thugs whom the Chicago Red Squad turned loose on local anti-war
groups.”34In this way the extra secret powers conferred after the RFK
assassination contributed to the disastrous turmoil in Chicago that
effectively destroyed the old Democratic Party representing the labor
unions: The three Democratic presidents elected since then have all been
significantly more conservative.Turning to Watergate and Iran-Contra, both of these events were on one level setbacks
to the repressive powers exercised by Richard Nixon and the Reagan
White House, not expansions of them. On the surface level this is true:
both events resulted in legislative reforms that would appear to
contradict my thesis of expanding repression.We need to distinguish here, however, between the two years of the
Watergate crisis, and the initial Watergate break-in. The Watergate
crisis saw a president forced into resignation by a number of forces,
involving both liberals and conservatives. But the key figures in the
initial Watergate break-in itself – Hunt, McCord, G. Gordon Liddy, and
their Cuban allies -- were all far to the right of Nixon and Kissinger.
And the end result of their machinations was not finalized until the
so-called Halloween Massacre in 1975, when Kissinger was ousted as
National Security Adviser and Vice-President Nelson Rockefeller was
notified he would be dropped from the 1976 Republican ticket. This major
shake-up was engineered by two other right-wingers: Donald Rumsfeld and
Dick Cheney in the Gerald Ford White House.35That day in 1975 saw the permanent defeat of the so-called
Rockefeller or liberal faction within the Republican Party. It was
replaced by the conservative Goldwater-Casey faction that would soon
capture the nomination and the presidency for Ronald Reagan.36 This
little-noticed palace coup, along with other related intrigues in the
mid-1970s, helped achieve the conversion of America from a welfare
capitalist economy, with gradual reductions in income and wealth
disparity, into a financialized plutonomy where these trends were
reversed.37Again in Iran-Contra we see a deeper accumulation of repressive power
under the surface of liberal reforms. At the time not only the press
but even academics like myself celebrated the termination of aid to the
Nicaraguan Contras, and the victory there of the Contadora peace
process. Not generally noticed at the time was the fact that, while
Oliver North was removed from his role in the Doomsday Project, that
project’s plans for surveillance, detention, and the militarization of
the United States continued to grow after his departure.38Also not noticed was the fact that the US Congress, while curtailing
aid to one small drug-financed CIA proxy army, was simultaneously
increasing US support to a much larger coalition of drug-financed proxy
armies in Afghanistan.39 While Iran-Contra exposed the $32
million which Saudi Arabia, at the urging of CIA Director William Casey,
had supplied to the Contras, not a word was whispered about the $500
million or more that the Saudis, again at the urging of Casey, had
supplied in the same period to the Afghan mujahedin.40 In
this sense the drama of Iran-Contra in Congress can be thought of as a
misdirection play, directing public attention away from America’s much
more intensive engagement in Afghanistan – a covert policy that has
since evolved into America’s longest war.We should expand our consciousness of Iran-Contra to think of it as
Iran-Afghan-Contra. And if we do, we must acknowledge that in this
complex and misunderstood deep event the CIA in Afghanistan exercised
again the paramilitary capacity that Stansfield Turner had tried to
terminate when he was CIA Director under Jimmy Carter. This was a
victory in short for the faction of men like Richard Blee, the protector
of al-Mihdhar as well as the advocate in 2000 for enhanced CIA
paramilitary activity in Afghanistan.41Personnel Overlaps Between the Successive Deep EventsI will never forget the New York Times front-page story on
June 18, 1972, the day after the Watergate break-in. There were
photographs of the Watergate burglars, including one of Frank Sturgis
alias Fiorini, whom I had already written about two years earlier in my
unpublished book manuscript, “The Dallas Conspiracy” about the JFK
assassination.

Frank Sturgis

Sturgis was no nonentity: a former contract employee of the CIA, he
was also well connected to the mob-linked former casino owners in
Havana.42 My early writings on the Kennedy case focused on
the connections between Frank Sturgis and an anti-Castro Cuban training
camp near New Orleans in which Oswald had shown an interest; also in
Sturgis’ involvement in false “phase-one” stories portraying Oswald as
part of a Communist Cuban conspiracy.43In spreading these “phase-one” stories in 1963, Sturgis was joined by
a number of Cubans who were part of the CIA-supported army in Central
America of Manuel Artime. Artime’s base in Costa Rica was closed down in
1965, allegedly because of its involvement in drug trafficking.44 In the 1980s some of these Cuban exiles later became involved in drug-financed support activities for the Contras.45The political mentor of Artime’s MRR movement was future Watergate
plotter Howard Hunt; and Artime in 1972 would pay for the bail of the
Cuban Watergate burglars. The drug money-launderer Ramón Milián
Rodríguez has claimed to have delivered $200,000 in cash from Artime to
pay off some of the Cuban Watergate burglars; later, in support of the
Contras, he managed two Costa Rican seafood companies, Frigorificos and
Ocean Hunter, that laundered drug money.46It is alleged that Hunt and McCord had both been involved with Artime’s invasion plans in 1963.47 It
was I believe no accident that the organization of Hunt’s protégé
Artime became enmired in drug trafficking. Hunt, I have argued
elsewhere, had been handling a U.S. drug connection since his 1950 post
in Mexico City as OPC (Office of Policy Coordination) chief.48But McCord not only had a past in the anti-Castro activities of 1963,
he was also part of the nation’s emergency planning network that would
later figure so prominently in the background of Iran-Contra and 9/11.
McCord was a member of a small Air Force Reserve unit in Washington
attached to the Office of Emergency Preparedness (OEP); assigned “to
draw up lists of radicals and to develop contingency plans for
censorship of the news media and U.S. mail in time of war.”49 His
unit was part of the Wartime Information Security Program (WISP), which
had responsibility for activating “contingency plans for imposing
censorship on the press, the mails and all telecommunications (including
government communications) [and] preventive detention of civilian
‘security risks,’ who would be placed in military ‘camps.’”50 In
other words, these were the plans that became known in the 1980s as the
Doomsday Project, the Continuity of Government planning on which Dick
Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld worked together for twenty years before 9/11.A Common Denominator for Structural Deep Events: Project Doomsday and COGMcCord’s participation in an emergency planning system dealing with
telecommunications suggests a common denominator in the backgrounds of
almost all the deep events we are considering. Oliver North, the
Reagan-Bush OEP point man on Iran-Contra planning, was also involved in
such planning; and he had access to the nation’s top secret Doomsday
communications network. North’s network, known as Flashboard, "excluded
other bureaucrats with opposing viewpoints…[and] had its own special
worldwide antiterrorist computer network, … by which members could
communicate exclusively with each other and their collaborators abroad."51Flashboard was used by North and his superiors for extremely
sensitive operations which had to be concealed from other dubious or
hostile parts of the Washington bureaucracy. These operations included
the illegal shipments of arms to Iran, but also other activities, some
still not known, perhaps even against Olof Palme’s Sweden.52 Flashboard,
America’s emergency network in the 1980s, was the name in 1984-86 of
the full-fledged Continuity of Government (COG) emergency network which
was secretly planned for twenty years, at a cost of billions, by a team
including Cheney and Rumsfeld. On 9/11 the same network was activated
anew by the two men who had planned it for so many years.53But this Doomsday planning can be traced back to 1963, when Jack Crichton, head of the 488th
Army Intelligence Reserve unit of Dallas, was part of it in his
capacity as chief of intelligence for Dallas Civil Defense, which worked
out of an underground Emergency Operating Center. As Russ Baker
reports, “Because it was intended for ‘continuity of government’
operations during an attack, [the Center] was fully equipped with
communications equipment.”54 A speech given at the dedication of the Center in 1961 supplies further details:This Emergency Operating Center [in Dallas] is part of the National
Plan to link Federal, State and local government agencies in a
communications network from which rescue operations can be directed in
time of local or National emergency. It is a vital part of the National,
State, and local Operational Survival Plan.55Crichton, in other words, was also part of what became known in the
1980s as the Doomsday Project, like James McCord, Oliver North, Donald
Rumsfeld, and Dick Cheney after him. But in 1988 its aim was
significantly enlarged: no longer to prepare for an atomic attack, but
now to plan for the effective suspension of the American constitution in
the face of any emergency.56 This change in 1988 allowed COG to be implemented in 2001. By this time the Doomsday Project had developed into what the Washington Post called “a shadow government that evolved based on long-standing ‘continuity of operations plans.’”57

It is clear that the Office of Emergency Preparedness (OEP, known
from 1961-1968 as the Office of Emergency Planning) supplies a common
denominator for key personnel in virtually all of the structural events
discussed here. This is a long way from establishing that the OEP itself
(in addition to the individuals discussed here) was involved in
generating any of these events. But I believe that the alternative
communications network housed first in the OEP (later part of Project
908) played a significant role in at least three of them: the JFK
assassination, Iran-Contra, and 9/11.This is easiest to show in the case of 9/11, where it is conceded
that the Continuity of Government (COG) plans of the Doomsday Project
were implemented by Cheney on 9/11, apparently before the last of the
four hijacked planes had crashed.58 The 9/11 Commission could
not locate records of the key decisions taken by Cheney on that day,
suggesting that they may have taken place on the “secure phone “ in the
tunnel leading to the presidential bunker – with such a high
classification that the 9/11 Commission was never supplied the phone
records.59 Presumably this was a COG phone.It is not clear whether the “secure phone” in the White House tunnel
belonged to the Secret Service or (as one might expect) was part of the
secure network of the White House Communications Agency (WHCA). If the
latter, we’d have a striking link between 9/11 and the JFK
assassination. The WHCA boasts on its Web site that the agency was “a
key player in documenting the assassination of President Kennedy.”60
However it is not clear for whom this documentation was conducted, for
the WHCA logs and transcripts were in fact withheld from the Warren
Commission.61The Secret Service had installed a WHCA portable radio in the lead car of the presidential motorcade.62 This in turn was in contact by police radio with the pilot car ahead of it, carrying DPD Deputy Chief Lumpkin of the 488th Army Intelligence Reserve unit.63 Records
of the WHCA communications from the motorcade never reached the Warren
Commission, the House Committee on Assassinations, or the Assassination
Records Review Board.64 Thus we cannot tell if they would
explain some of the anomalies on the two channels of the Dallas Police
Department. They might for example have thrown light upon the unsourced
call on the Dallas Policetapes for a suspect who had exactly the false height and weight recorded for Oswald in his FBI and CIA files.65Today in 2011 we are still living under the State of Emergency
proclaimed after 9/11 by President Bush. At least some COG provisions
are still in effect, and were even augmented by Bush through
Presidential Directive 51 of May 2007. Commenting on PD-51, the Washington Post reported at that time,After the 2001 attacks, Bush assigned about 100 senior civilian
managers [including Cheney] to rotate secretly to [COG] locations
outside of Washington for weeks or months at a time to ensure the
nation’s survival, a shadow government that evolved based on
long-standing “continuity of operations plans.”66Presumably this “shadow government” finalized such long-standing COG
projects as warrantless surveillance, in part through the Patriot Act,
whose controversial provisions were already being implemented by Cheney
and others well before the Bill reached Congress on October 12.67 Other
COG projects implemented included the militarization of domestic
surveillance under NORTHCOM, and the Department of Homeland Security’s
Project Endgame—a ten-year plan to expand detention camps at a cost of
$400 million in fiscal year 2007 alone.68I have, therefore, a recommendation for the Occupy movement,
rightfully incensed as it is with the plutonomic excesses of Wall Street
over the last three decades. It is to call for an end to the state of
emergency, which has been in force since 2001, under which since 2008 a
U.S. Army Brigade Combat Team has been stationed permanently in the
United States, in part to be ready “to help with civil unrest and crowd
control.”69Democracy-lovers must work to prevent the political crisis now
developing in America from being resolved by military intervention.Let me say in conclusion that for a half century American politics
have been constrained and deformed by the unresolved matter of the
Kennedy assassination. According to a memo of November 25 1963, from
Assistant Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach, it was important then to
persuade the public that “Oswald was the assassin,” and that “he did
not have confederates.”70 Obviously this priority became even
more important after these questionable propositions were endorsed by
the Warren Report, the U.S. establishment, and the mainstream press. It
has remained an embarrassing priority ever since for all succeeding
administrations, including the present one. There is for example an
official in Obama’s State Department (Todd Leventhal), whose official
job, until recently, included defense of the lone nut theory against
so-called “conspiracy theorists”71If Oswald was not a lone assassin, then it should not surprise us
that there is continuity between those who falsified reports about
Oswald in 1963, and those who distorted American politics in subsequent
deep events beginning with Watergate. Since the deep event of 1963 the
legitimacy of America’s political system has become vested in a lie -- a
lie which subsequent deep events have helped to protect.72

Stringfellow worked under Jack Revill in the Vice Squad of the DPD
Special Services Bureau. As such he reported regularly to the FBI on
such close Jack Ruby associates as James Herbert Dolan, a “known hoodlum
and strong-arm man” on the FBI’s Top Criminal list for Dallas (Robert
M. Barrett, FBI Report of February 2, 1963, NARA#124-90038-10026, 12
[Stringfellow]; cf. NARA#124-10212-10012, 4 [hoodlum],
NARA#124-10195-10305, 9 [Top Criminal]). Cf. 14 WH 601-02 Ruby and
Dolan]. Robert Barrett, who received Stringfellow’s reports to the FBI,
had Ruby’s friend Dolan under close surveillance; he also took part in
Oswald’s arrest at the Texas Theater, and claimed to have seen DPD

of false intelligence on November 22: that Oswald had confessed to the

false. On the contrary, the document called for “compartmentation of

of these, DPD Detective John Adamcik, was a member of the party which
retrieved a blanket said to have contained Oswald’s rifle; and which the
Warren Commission used to link Oswald to the famous Mannlicher Carcano.
Adamcik was later present at Mamantov’s interview of Marina about the
rifle, and corroborated Mamantov’s account of it to the Warren
Commission. There is reason to believe that Mamantov’s translation of
Marina’s testimony was inaccurate (Scott, Deep Politics, 268-70, 276).

“The 9/11 crisis tested the U.S. government’s plans and capabilities
to ensure the continuity of constitutional government and the continuity
of government operations. We did not investigate this topic, except as
needed to understand the activities and communications of key officials
on 9/11. The Chair, Vice Chair, and senior staff were briefed on the
general nature and implementation of these continuity plans.”
The other footnotes confirm that no information from COG files was
used to document the 9/11 report. At a minimum these files might resolve
the mystery of the missing phone call which simultaneously authorized
COG, and (in consequence) determined that Bush should continue to stay
out of Washington. I suspect that they might tell us a great deal more.

concerning communications between Dallas and Washington on November 22
(NARA #172-10001-10002 to NARA #172-10000-10008). The Assassination
Records Review Board also attempted to obtain from the WHCA the unedited
original tapes of conversations from Air Force One on the return trip
from Dallas, November 22, 1963. (Edited and condensed versions of these
tapes had been available since the 1970s from the Lyndon Baines Johnson
Library in Austin, Texas.) The attempt was unsuccessful: “The Review
Board’s repeated written and oral inquiries of the White House
Communications Agency did not bear fruit. The WHCA could not produce any
records that illuminated the provenance of the edited tapes.” See Assassinations Records Review Board: Final Report, chapter 6, Part 1, 116, link.

Who are “They”?

THEY are the people who fabricated the pretexts to the Vietnam War and the Iraq War.THEY are the people who spy on us illegally and call the whistleblowers who expose their crimes traitors.THEY denied they were spying on us for years despite evidence to the
contrary and at the same time they were building a vast, illegal
technological prison around us.THEY are the ones who commit war crimes with impunity and jail those who reveal their murders.THEY are the ones who torture and imprison people outside of any legal or moral framework.THEY are criminal bankers who are rewarded with bailouts instead of indictments for their crimes.THEY make billions destroying the economic future of millions with Ponzi schemes and then blame their victims.THEY are the complicit media who protect the people who are
committing crimes against humanity instead of investigating and
revealing them.THEY are the ones who write talking points like the question “Who are
They?” in an attempt to portray people who question the motives and
morality of global planners as paranoid.THEY are being exposed by brave whistleblowers and investigative journalists and their days are numbered.

If
you allow someone to pump hours of “programming” into your mind every
single day, it is inevitable that it is eventually going to have a major
impact on how you view the world. In America today, the average person
consumes approximately 10 hours of information, news and entertainment a
day, and there are 6 giant media corporations that overwhelmingly
dominate that market. In fact, it has been estimated that somewhere
around 90 percent of the “programming” that we constantly feed our minds
comes from them, and of course they are ultimately controlled by the
elite of the world. So is there any hope for our country as long as the
vast majority of the population is continually plugging themselves into
this enormous “propaganda matrix”?Just think about
your own behavior. Even as you are reading this article the television
might be playing in the background or you may have some music on. Many
of us have gotten to the point where we are literally addicted to media.
In fact, there are people out there that become physically
uncomfortable if everything is turned off and they have to deal with
complete silence.It has been said that if you put
garbage in, you are going to get garbage out. It is the things that we
do consistently that define who we are, and so if you are feeding your
mind with hours of “programming” from the big media corporations each
day, that is going to have a dramatic affect on who you eventually
become.These monolithic corporations really do set the
agenda for what society focuses on. For example, when you engage in
conversation with your family, friends or co-workers, what do you talk
about? If you are like most people, you might talk about something
currently in the news, a television show that you watched last night or
some major sporting event that is taking place.Virtually
all of that news and entertainment is controlled by the elite by virtue
of their ownership of these giant media corporations.I
want to share some numbers with you that may be hard to believe. They
come directly out of Nielsen’s “Total Audience Report“, and they show
how much news and entertainment the average American consumes through
various methods each day…Watching live television: 4 hours, 32 minutesWatching time-shifted television: 30 minutesListening to the radio: 2 hours, 44 minutesUsing a smartphone: 1 hour, 33 minutesUsing Internet on a computer: 1 hour, 6 minutesWhen you add all of those numbers together, it comes to a grand total of more than 10 hours.And
keep in mind that going to movie theaters, playing video games and
reading books are behaviors that are not even on this list.What in the world are we doing to ourselves?The combination of watching live television and watching time-shifted television alone comes to a total of more than five hours.If
you feed five hours of something into your mind day after day, it is
going to change you. There is no way around that. You may think that
you are strong enough to resist the programming, but the truth is that
it affects all of us in very subtle ways that we do not even understand.And
as I mentioned above, there are just six giant corporations that
account for almost all of the programming that we receive through our
televisions. Below is a list of these six corporations along with a
sampling of the various media properties that they own…ComcastNBCTelemundoUniversal PicturesFocus FeaturesUSA NetworkBravoCNBCThe Weather ChannelMSNBCSyfyNBCSNGolf ChannelEsquire NetworkE!ClooChillerUniversal HDComcast SportsNetUniversal Parks & ResortsUniversal Studio Home VideoThe Walt Disney CompanyABC Television NetworkESPNThe Disney ChannelA&ELifetimeMarvel EntertainmentLucasfilmWalt Disney PicturesPixar Animation StudiosDisney MobileDisney Consumer ProductsInteractive MediaDisney Theme ParksDisney RecordsHollywood RecordsMiramax FilmsTouchstone PicturesNews CorporationFox Broadcasting CompanyFox News ChannelFox Business NetworkFox Sports 1Fox Sports 2National GeographicNat Geo WildFXFXXFX Movie ChannelFox Sports NetworksThe Wall Street JournalThe New York PostBarron’sSmartMoneyHarperCollins20th Century FoxFox Searchlight PicturesBlue Sky StudiosBeliefnetZondervanTime WarnerCNNThe CWHBOCinemaxCartoon NetworkHLNNBA TVTBSTNTTruTVTurner Classic MoviesWarner Bros.Castle RockDC ComicsWarner Bros.

those enormous media conglomerates do not have quite the same monopoly
over the Internet, but we are starting to see a tremendous amount of
consolidation in the online world as well. Just check out these
numbers…Overall, the top 10 publishers — together
owning around 60 news sites — account for 47% of total online traffic to
news content last year, with the next-biggest 140 publishers accounting
for most of the other half, SimilarWeb found.The
biggest online news publisher for the U.S. audience was MSN, owner of
MSN.com, with just over 27 billion combined page views across mobile and
desktop, followed by Disney Media Networks, owner of ESPN and ABC News,
with 25.9 billion.The battle for the future of this nation is a battle for the hearts and minds of individuals.And
it is hard to see how things will be turned in a dramatically different
direction as long as most of us are willingly feeding our hearts and
minds with hours of “programming” that is controlled by the elite each
day.The good news is that there are signs of an
awakening. More Americans than ever are becoming disenchanted with the
mainstream media, and this is showing up in recent survey numbers. Here
is one example…Trust in the news media is being
eroded by perceptions of inaccuracy and bias, fueled in part by
Americans’ skepticism about what they read on social media.Just
6 percent of people say they have a lot of confidence in the media,
putting the news industry about equal to Congress and well below the
public’s view of other institutions.As Americans (and
people all over the world) have lost confidence in the mainstream media,
they have been seeking out other sources of news and entertainment.
This has greatly fueled the rise of the alternative media, and the
dozens of websites all over the Internet where this article will
ultimately be published are examples of this explosion.You
can only enslave people for so long. Ultimately, they will want to
break free of the chains that are holding them back and they will want
to find the truth.

In this day and age, it is
absolutely imperative that we all learn to think for ourselves. If you
find that you are still addicted to the “programming” that the giant
media corporations are feeding you, I would encourage you to start
unplugging from the matrix more frequently.In the end, you will be glad that you did.

The Missing: Why Do Some People Vanish Into Thin Air?

On Thursday January 8, 2015, Johanna Frouw’s husband parked his car
outside the liquor store on 32 Street in Vernon, British Columbia,
leaving her behind while he went inside to purchase beer. He left the
keys in the ignition, and was only gone for a few minutes; when he
returned, his car was where he left it, and inside were the keys—still
in the ignition—along with Johanna’s phone.Johanna, however, was nowhere to be found.RCMP officials learned that Johanna had used drugs in the past, but
that she was never prone to just leave like this. Her husband, to whom
her partnership is recognized by common law, said there had been nothing
wrong, nor any indication as to why she would leave. At present, police
are still trying to understand how a woman could seemingly vanish off
the face of the earth within a narrow window of only a few minutes.Frouw’s story isn’t unique, of course. Every year, an unprecedented
number of people go missing, and under a variety of different
circumstances that have often left police and investigators scratching
their heads.Late in 2014, the Boston Globe reported
on the disappearance of Gerry Largay, who vanished while hiking alone
on the Appalachian Trail on July 22, 2013. Largay hadn’t been alone the
entire time, however; as a reasonably experienced hiker, she had
befriended many families and fellow hikers along the way, and had been
assisted by her husband, who supplemented her solo-trek along the way by
meeting her at various intervals, where he would meet her to assist
with supplies, or occasionally to get them a hotel where Gerry could
enjoy a warm shower. Largay disappeared during a period of precipitation
over a three day stint amidst some of the more rugged terrain in
western Maine.No conclusive leads as to Largay’s whereabouts have ever been
uncovered, and while it is presumed that she met her fate while
hiking the Appalachian Trail, her disappearance is one of the many
mysteries in the realm of people’s strange disappearances.Entire committees have been formed to address the issue of people who
just vanish, such as the, International Commission on Missing Persons,
formed specifically to address disappearances of individuals related to
natural disasters, armed conflicts, and violations of human rights the
likes of slavery and human trafficking. Especially in North America, a
number of the more curious disappearances have been opined as being the
result of something far less well-orchestrated as human trafficking,
though the possibility of kidnappings having taken place may indeed be
related.Another case which I’ve detailed previously here at Mysterious Universe was brought to my attention by researcher David Paulides, author of the Missing 411 book
series, which documents strange, and often seemingly inexplicable
disappearances, as well as the strange circumstances that occasionally
surround them. The story of the disappearance of six-year-old Dennis
Martin, a young boy who went missing in 1969 near Cades Cove, Tennessee,
in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, has remained a hallmark
among odd missing person cases for decades. Much like Johannah Frouw’s
sudden disappearance earlier this month, Martin had also vanished within
a very short period of time, while he and other children were playing
near Spence Field while he and his family were camping there in the
summer months. Also, much like Gerry Largay’s case, the youngest member
of the Martin family had vanished while on the Appalachian Trail; his
whereabouts have never been determined.

Dennis Martin shortly before his disappearance in 1969.

There are countless reasons why an individual–particularly a
minor–might become disoriented and disappear in a wilderness area; of
Martin, it is important to note that his father had been quoted in a
National Park Service document saying that Dennis had apparently
suffered a mild learning disability. Still, what is arguably the most
disturbing aspect of the investigation has to do with the observations
of a man named Harold Key, who along with his family, had been hiking a
few miles away near Rhowan’s Creek on the afternoon Dennis went missing.
He and his family reported hearing an “enormous, sickening scream” as
they hiked along, followed by the unsettling observation of a
“rough-looking, dark figured man” who appeared to be trying to conceal
himself from view on a ridge above them. This individual was observed
moving quickly up the ridge away from them, and Key suggested there may
have been something the individual had been carrying at the time.Strange details such as these have fueled the imaginations of
researchers, as well as that of less official, but perhaps
equally-curious minds who have studied the case, leading some to suggest
that strange “beasts” the likes of Bigfoot might be held accountable
for the disappearances. It is obviously difficult to support such a
conclusion, at least in the absence of hard data that supports the
existence of these proposed “wild men” in the North Americas. And yet,
reports that seem to account for the likes of such animals have been
produced by numerous individuals, for well over a century.More likely, perhaps, in the majority of cases is the notion that
people who go missing in the wilderness are the victims of
disorientation, dehydration, or perhaps even the predation of various
wild animals, large and dangerous enough to accost and overcome even
a well-built man in his prime. Which, in truth, points to the urban
disappearances as being among the more perplexing; with hope, people the
likes of Johanna Frouw will not remain among North America’s
inexplicably missing.A final example worthy of review here involves the disappearance of
Zebb Quinn, an 18-year-old Walmart employee who vanished on January 2,
2000 near his home in Asheville, North Carolina (the home, incidentally,
of this author). Quinn had been looking to purchase a new vehicle, and
had been accompanied by a friend at the time he received an alert (a
page, to be exact, to further illustrate the passage of time since his
disappearance), after which he told his company he had to leave. Quinn
was last seen at a gas station on Hendersonville Road, and his
disappearance has never been solved.Of particular interest in the disappearance of Quinn, Jason Owens,
the friend who had been with him at the time Quinn received the page,
later told police that Quinn had seemed “frantic,” and had purportedly
damaged Owen’s vehicle by rear-ending him during his hasty exit. Owens
turned up later that evening at the local urgent care facility with a
head injury, as well as broken ribs, claiming that a second accident had
occurred that evening, for which no police report was ever filed.Quinn’s vehicle turned up nearly two weeks later in the parking lot
of the Little Pigs Barbecue across from Asheville High School,
sporting its own bizarre variety of defacement: a large pair of lips had
been drawn on the rear window of the car with what appeared to be
lipstick, and a labrador puppy, as well as a hotel key, drink bottles,
and a jacket, were found within. Possible leads in the case had included
the suspicion that Quinn’s friend Owen, as well as a young woman named
Misty Taylor and her boyfriend, may have had information in the
disappearance, but no evidence has ever surfaced to support this
conclusively.It is indeed strange–and unsetting–when circumstances allow for a
person to go missing indefinitely in this way. Whatever the underlying
cause in any given circumstance, such cases can appear to defy logic,
and of course, remind us of the frailties we maintain as individuals.
Amidst the more foreign and exotic mysteries of our universe, none
strike home quite like those which can occur in the everyday, and still
remain unsolved.

9/11: An Occult Ritual? I

By M.K. Styllinski

“… the
picture that emerges is that of 9/11 as an ultra-powerful mind-control
and propaganda weapon—a psychological warfare tool of enormous
proportions—infused with techno-sorcery and deep-level occult
programming. 9/11 was a global MegaRitual

– occult investigative researcher, S.K. Bain

If the reader has problems in
accepting the certainty that the official narrative of 9/11 is bogus,
then I recommend you don’t read any further as it will either make you
chuckle with derisive incredulity or make your head explode. Or both.You might say everything that has
gone before in this blog has been a primer in order to ease the mind
into accepting the following scenario as at least, a possibility. None
of this stuff is easy to digest and I recommend reading the introduction
to this blog and as much as you can of the first few series as you can
before tackling the following pages. It hasn’t escaped my notice that if
people find it a challenge to process the idea that elements within
government would willingly perpetrate a vast hoax and murder almost
3,000 people, then they are not going to embrace the deeper dimension
that it was another example of a Grand Mega-Ritual sacrifice for Saturn.

Out there right?

Our collective padded room (Source: creepypasta.wikia.com)

Well, you know what they say: truth
be stranger than fiction. And the more layers you peel away the
stranger it gets until you reach a state of “High strangeness”. That may
leave you with the realisation that the inmates took over the asylum we
call society, a very long time ago. Welcome to the Real World as they
also say…

With that little primer dispensed with, let’s move on.The focus has been placed on occult Zionism due to it being in my view, the most pervasive and influential arm of the 3EM and
thus the cause of the majority of our religious and geopolitical
conflicts, which impacts all our lives to a greater or lesser degree. We
have also traced the extremism of Zio-Conservative foreign and domestic
policy; US Zionist spy networks and the presence of a Zionist 5th
column within successive US administrations. The dominance of Jewish
persons within media, Hollywood, politics and socio-cultural discourse
is also extremely powerful. This does not mean that American-Jews are
somehow all in cahoots with the Zionist Establishment but it does mean
that the normal Jews and Jewish culture is used and exploited by
psychopaths in a way that is intrinsically different to other forms of
Establishment dynamics, as explored in previous posts. That being so, it
means that the occult aspects of 9/11 must be viewed along side the
obvious Zionist manipulations throughout history and which form an
overall broader perspective. With such an enormously strong
history of macrocosmic inversion across the history of our Empire
builders we see the same “chosen people” rising to the surface and used
expertly by Zionist handlers who embody the original sin of the
Pharisees and Levite Priesthood. Their mind-set reoccurs again and
again, flowing through streams of freemasonic lineage and religio-occult
groupings. 9/11 may have been one vast ritual sacrifice sanctioned by
the highest echelon Establishment occultists, signalling a crucial phase
in the progression of pathocratic rulership. If we have been reading with an open
mind, it will have been obvious that governments’ story of the 9/11
attacks is a conspiracy theory so silly as to insult the intelligence of
anyone who is able to think critically. As illustrated in 9/11: The Point of No Return? our
reaction to the attacks are as much about how we process reality as the
veracity of what did or did not happen on that day. Perhaps it offers
the opportunity for a vast mirror of self-reflection regarding what we
choose to believe about 9/11 and the very nature of our social systems
in which we live and have our being. Our choices regarding 9/11 –
assuming we give it any attention at all – will determine where we are
on the arc of awakening; whether we choose the official theory or stand
up for an independent investigation (however unlikely). But letting your
own voice be heard is vital. Whether we choose to remain silent or
contribute to resisting lies, it is a descriptor of our worldview and thus offers an insight into the kind of person we are. And therein lies the opportunity.

To explain: What if all the gaping
holes in the official story were entirely purposeful, merely acting as a
smokescreen for the true nature of the tragedy? When are persistent
patterns of “coincidence” transformed into realisations that there are
hidden layers at work beneath the facade? For some, that is not something to
contemplate as it implies a whole world of change that is deeply
uncomfortable. It is preferable to adhere to the official view (even
some of the standard views within the 9/11 Movement) in order to
maintain aligned beliefs which permit such a fraud to work in the first
place. If that becomes broken what else will have to be addressed deep
within ourselves? This is the main obstacle to uncovering the truth
behind the 9/11 atrocity – our own self-importance and cherished
beliefs.

Unexpected change is very hard for
most of us. It took me a very long time to embrace uncertainty and
change, whatever the situation. I only managed to do it due to several
major shocks to the system which shattered the false part of myself so
that there was no way for me to carefully piece them together again. A
new self could be grown that was a little closer to the authenticity I
hoped to embody. In the same way, 9/11 is one big shock to the
collective human system that will ultimately force us all to make a
choice: to follow the Official Culture of normalised lies and by default
support it, or join together with others – whatever their race or creed
– in order to draw a line in the sand which might be verbalised:

“I
reject propaganda and lies. This is not the kind of world I want to
support and I will peacefully defend the human conscience any way I can.

Before we continue to go deeper let’s review the 9/11 basics with a lengthy extract from journalist James Corbett at www.corbettreport.com.
With some appropriately wry humour he perfectly summarises the
preposterous nature of the official story while providing a nice
reminder of 9/11 events as a whole:

“On the morning of September 11, 2001, 19 men armed with box-cutters directed by a man on dialysis
in a cave fortress halfway around the world using a satellite phone and
a laptop directed the most sophisticated penetration of the most
heavily-defended airspace in the world, overpowering the passengers and
the military combat-trained pilots
on 4 commercial aircraft before flying those planes wildly off course
for over an hour without being molested by a single fighter interceptor.These 19 hijackers, devout religious fundamentalists who liked to drink alcohol,
snort cocaine, and live with pink-haired strippers, managed to knock
down 3 buildings with 2 planes in New York, while in Washington a pilot
who couldn’t handle a single engine Cessna was able to fly a 757 in an
8,000 foot descending 270 degree corskscrew turn to come exactly level
with the ground, hitting the Pentagon in the budget analyst officewhere
DoD staffers were working on the mystery of the 2.3 trillion dollars
that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld had announced “missing” from the
Pentagon’s coffers in a press conference the day before, on September 10, 2001.Luckily, the news anchors knew who did it within minutes, the pundits knew within hours, the Administration knew within the day, and the evidenceliterally fell into the FBI’s lap. But for some reason a bunch of crazy conspiracy theorists demanded an investigation into the greatest attack on American soil in history.The investigation was delayed, underfunded, set up to fail, a conflict of interest and a cover up from start to finish. It was based on testimony extracted through torture, the records of which were destroyed. It failed to mention the existence of WTC7, Able Danger, Ptech, Sibel Edmonds, OBL and the CIA, and the drills
of hijacked aircraft being flown into buildings that were being
simulated at the precise same time that those events were actually
happening. It was lied to by the Pentagon, the CIA, and the Bush Administration and as for Bush and Cheney…well, no one knows what they told it because they testified in secret, off the record, not under oath
and behind closed doors. It didn’t bother to look at who funded the
attacks because that question is of “little practical significance“.
Still, the 9/11 Commission did brilliantly, answering all of the
questions the public had (except most of the victims’ family members’ questions)
and pinned blame on all the people responsible (although no one so much
as lost their job), determining the attacks were “a failure of
imagination” because “I don’t think anyone could envision flying
airplanes into buildings” except the Pentagon
and FEMA and NORAD and the NRO. The DIA destroyed 2.5 TB of data on
Able Danger, but that’s OK because it probably wasn’t important.The SEC destroyed their records on
the investigation into the insider trading before the attacks, but
that’s OK because destroying the records of the largest investigation in
SEC history is just part of routine record keeping. NIST has classified
the data that they used for their model of WTC7′s collapse, but that’s
OK because knowing how they made their model of that collapse would “jeopardize public safety“. The FBI has argued
that all material related to their investigation of 9/11 should be kept
secret from the public, but that’s OK because the FBI probably has nothing to hide.
This man never existed, nor is anything he had to say worthy of your
attention, and if you say otherwise you are a paranoid conspiracy
theorist and deserve to be shunned by all of humanity. […]Osama Bin Laden lived in a cave fortress in the hills of Afghanistan, but somehow got away.
Then he was hiding out in Tora Bora but somehow got away. Then he lived
in Abbottabad for years, taunting the most comprehensive intelligence
dragnet employing the most sophisticated technology in the history of
the world for 10 years, releasing video after video with complete
impunity (and getting younger and younger as he did so), before finally
being found in a daring SEAL team raid which wasn’t recorded on video,
in which he didn’t resist or use his wife as a human shield, and in
which these crack special forces operatives panicked and killed this
unarmed man, supposedly the best source of intelligence about those
dastardly terrorists on the planet. Then they dumped his body in the
ocean before telling anyone about it. Then a couple dozen of that team’s
members died in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan.This is the story of 9/11, brought to
you by the media which told you the hard truths about JFK and incubator
babies and mobile production facilities and the rescue of Jessica
Lynch. If you have any questions about this story…you are a batshit,
paranoid, tinfoil, dog-abusing baby-hater and will be reviled by
everyone. If you love your country and/or freedom, happiness, rainbows,
rock and roll, puppy dogs, apple pie and your grandma, you will never
ever express doubts about any part of this story to anyone. Ever. [1]

So, what were the effects of this
momentous event? Did it change your life in any tangible way? The fact
is, the so-called attack on American soil on September 11th
fundamentally altered the way of life for almost everyone on the globe,
whether we realise it or not.In subsequent years we have seen:

The elimination of habeas corpus,
the Bill of Rights and the Fourth Amendment and the subsequent
imposition of draconian laws. Similar clampdowns on the freedom of
speech using the pretext of the War on Terror have also been enacted in
Europe with humanitarian and civil liberties further eroded.

The militarisation of the police and the arrival of the police state and commensurate brutality.

The use and justification of torture.

The push for global resources under
the pretext of humanitarian aid and the use of “coloured revolutions”
for regime change. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and invasions of
Somalia, Libya, Yemen and Syria with state-sanctioned assassinations and
an increase in boarder conflicts are all part of a long term
Anglo-American-Israeli doctrine for “perpetual war.”

Asymmetric proxy wars fought through private armies or mercenaries.

The rise of the surveillance state and technocracy.

An exponential rise in state-sponsored terrorism from Al-Qaeda to ISIL.

Mass exodus of refugees fleeing the Western-backed terror groups and more pressure on immigration issues.

The further domination of transnational corporations in banking, food, oil, agribusiness over government policy.

Huge increases in military spending from governments worldwide at the behest of arms manufacturersand banking cartels.

The discovery of banking and corporate fraud as a symptom of the mainstreaming of the underworld to “overworld” economy.

The highlighting of the core
corruption, insider trading and manipulation of the world markets by
Wall Street and the global banking cartels as a way of life.

A continuous net increase of wealth
to the richest on the planet while those in poverty get still poorer.
(And this leap in affluence and ownership for the ooooooo.1% of the
planet has occurred in particular since the last economic crash of
2008).

A serious escalation of the threat of nuclear war by US-NATO as an attempt to globalise conflict into a World War III scenario.

I’m sure you can include many other
sub-categories, all of which have been directly and indirectly made
possible from the events of 9/11.

We have explored the roots of the
religio-occult and mythological significance of Saturn-moon worship and
its core links to the Establishment of today, most notably Hassidic
sects within Judaism such as Chabad Lubavitch and elite Zionism – the modern equivalent of the “Saturn’s Children” of old. Clearly,
they are not the only players. The fire-Prometheus-Lucifer-Sun cults
upon which the Catholic Church is based is a far cry from Christ’s
message. Militant Islam and Western intelligence’s fascist outpost of
the Muslim Brotherhood
are also represented. The structure and icons of all these religions
and their off-shoots show the remnants of a Saturnine past and the
consequent cover up of our true spiritual origins. What binds the
3EM together is occult Babylonianism – the root source of materialism,
“temporal power” and the ceremonial psychopath’s heritage. That is the
whole raison d’etre of the minority ruling elite: in order to maintain
the illusion of these ancient “intermediaries” there must always be a
suitable incentive for the masses to place their trust in the structures
of authority otherwise there will be chaos and violent “anarchy”. Yet,
spiritual nourishment and societal order does not come from the rules
set down by ancient totalitarian priesthoods and royal bloodlines of
oligarchs and banking cartels. True anarchy shows us that hierarchical leaders
are not needed though this does not exclude leadership and structure.
Yet this is what they would have us believe – for their own survival. As
the character of high chancellor Adam Sutler tell us in the film
adaption of Alan Moore’s graphic novel: V for Vendetta:

“I want this country to realize that we stand on the edge of oblivion. I want everyone to remember why they need us!”

And ritual blood sacrifice drawn from
the population is the much needed “energy” to maintain their
parasitical and vampiric place within the biosphere of humanity and
Earth. Thus, their essential nature – much like their ideologies – has
to be camouflaged with masks of sanity which inevitably slip much of the
time and if we have cultivated the discernment to see it. Nowhere
do we find this more powerfully expressed than in the slow ponerisation
of organised religion and materialist science, both two sides of a lost
Truth: Religion as echoes of archetypal myths offering an emotional
mystical connection to higher densities of Being and orthodox science as
a pale reflection of an ancient techno-science of alchemy. Only by a
marriage of both can we begin to remember our past. And remembrance and
redemption of a once sacred spiritual science is firmly under lock and
key of the Elite.

Meantime,
overt occultism becomes a commonly accepted part of culture, whether
Wiccan or Freemasonry, Jewish Kabbalah or Theosophy, they are the scraps
from the global priesthood which serve to keep the mass mind occupied
and “in the know.” The psychopath and his worldview is often: “… transformed into an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14) and yet he is the personification and channel for Non-Being and darkness. Deception
is only useful if it successfully substitutes art for artifice, lies
for truth, hierarchy and spiritual dogma for a living personal
connection with Spirit. And this is where the use of symbols, emblems,
amulets, talismans, motifs and modern iconography comes in. These is the
medium by which Brotherhood of Saturn/Satan/Serpent telegraph phases of
progression within occult theology and practice.Our
culture is saturated in updated versions of ancient symbolism in much
the same way as the supra-ancient six-pointed star as endless variations
on that geometrical template has shown. After all, remember that part
of the reason our paleolithic and neolithic ancestors carved symbols
into rock was so that they could interpret earth changes and the clash of the celestial Titans. They did so because it was both a creative imperative and
a warning for future communities. This time the symbolism is displayed
through corporatism, pop culture and ritual motifs. It is plastered all
over the events of 9/11 as echoes of those past epochs and as a game of
numbers and messages by an elite that is impressed by its own deranged
self-importance.

Why is it that the occult psychopath is so enamoured of symbols and alchemical formulas? It is rather like the tripartite
relationship of the key, the lock and the door. Symbols and their
numerology were formulated by observing, attuning and communing with
Nature where all knowledge lies (“as above, so below”.) Occult magicians
are obsessed with deciphering the keys, finding the locks and opening
the doors (portals) between different locations of reality where an
array of “Gods” resided and that were naturally attuned through our
bodies and minds – through our very DNA – during the Golden Age. Like all things, symbols can be
inverted toward a destination and contact that is somewhat different.
And if one is interested in observing the ancient power-sharing practice
of Saturnine ritual sacrifice you can imagine what kind of invocations
are necessary and by extension, the type of demands which needed to be
met with whomever they made “contact.” We might also say that “energy
follows thought” and the application of primal energy such as sexual
desire, a bio-chemical kundalini and the instinct of fear appear to have
a strange power when married to the presence of blood sacrifice, a
throw back to the dark magickal rituals which unlocked particular
“powers.”In other words, it may not be simply
symbolic but the use of codified information that quite literally allows
the correct configuration of keys to access certain demonic archetypes
built up over time. Whether or not this is true is a whole new line of
research. Suffice to say, that this is a simple description of a more
complex belief system which will assist us in understanding why 9/11 was a “key” event in occult ritualism and which unlocked much more than we may realise.

So, we might see “sacred geometry”
and “words of power” as codified rotes of information locked into the
symbol, rather like the hieroglyphics of old and even modern day
algebraic and trigonometric mathematics where one single equation can
embody a raft of meanings. We might even say that much of our quantum
technology can bundle information into a smaller and smaller “space” in
much the same way as an ancient symbol bundles concepts and laws which
then need the right keys to unlock them, though beyond the usual laws of
space-time.What better way to encrypt alchemical
secrets and Universal laws of access through a series of interlocking
shapes which both conceal and reveal to a suitably primed initiate? Perhaps the Golden and Silver Ages of humanity saw ancient science and technology far in advance to what we have today. The
limitation of the five senses is transcended through the medium of the
symbol and may hark back to a time when humanity used symbols much more
than vocal language. And this does not mean all alchemical and magical
symbolism is inherently evil (unless of course you are a religious
evangelist) since benign Custodians of the past also used the language
of symbols to protect spiritual knowledge. 21st Century occultism is
merely a degenerate form of ancient science in this context, with
institutionalised rituals offering a custodial role of knowledge
transference to benefit only a psychopathic minority.And of course, symbols of power have
built-in safeguards to lead dilettantes away from danger. In the same
way that icons and geometric-mathematical shapes can act as keys to
higher levels of awareness they are also believed to transmit or
transduce “energies” or frequencies which have been built up over time
in the same way that an electrical circuit can be charged and/or earthed
by turning on the mains supply. And the quality of that flow depends on
our depth of Being – or Non-being. This can be applied both
metaphorically and for occultists, most literally. Which is why there is
a tradition of inscribing stones, floors and landmarks seen as power
points with specific symbols offering a programmed purpose such as
locking in ritual “spells” and/or releasing them at certain junctures.Orthodox science is catching up with
esoteric science in the sense that the latter seeks to set down in
writing certain psycho-spiritual treatises for the individual and group
to attain liberation from matter i.e. by developing a REAL self, the
growth of the soul, as opposed to an amalgamation of conditioning and
survival instincts which keep us “asleep”. Science uses largely
reductive methods to pick Nature apart in order to understand her and
thereby improve our own lot (or the profit margins of the overshadowing
sponsor).For most of science man is a machine
and consciousness is a by-product of a neurological Skinner box or the
transhumanist avatar. Esoteric science and its knowledge is experiential
and intuitive, practical and ideally, entirely objective in the correct
setting. This can only be proven by applying the knowledge, it seems.
Occult brotherhoods predicated on white, black, grey or Satanic magick place
ritual invocation as a primary benchmark of control and are thus
ultimately inviting the same quality of control back into their lives. The Grand Magician cannot see past his own self-absorbed choices. As occult beliefs play a huge part in
the Three Establishment Order and its geo-political aspirations we must
entertain the possibility that some form of occult psychological
warfare reached its destructive apotheosis on the morning of September
11th 2001 and beyond. There is a certain music of chance
which may exist in the events and occurrences in and around 9/11
expressed as a mathematical probability, interwoven with apparent signs
and portents which, on their own, are nothing. However, taken together
and with much of the information covered in this blog so far, it becomes
somewhat more compelling.

In fact, for experts in the occult and politics – nothing happens
by chance. Meaning can be seen in the most random events and symbolism
ascribed to the seemingly mundane. Granted, if we are mystically-minded
one can see almost anything we wish in the ocean of numbers and formulae
which make up the “ethers” of our daily lives. Regardless of whether we
are atheist, agnostic or religious, occult belief exists in the world
in a way that is largely hidden from ordinary people but nevertheless
permeates almost every facet of society.Now, whether occultism is founded on
principles which have an ancient scientific basis is irrelevant. Maybe
they do, maybe they don’t. What is important is that many of the
psychopathic insiders of our world do believe it and use forms of
magick as a primary tool in their operations. Accordingly, they affix
meaning and power to astrology, cosmology, human psychology, sexuality,
death and blood ritual. Symbolism, esoteric cycles and timing is a vital
part of that grandiose game. What is beyond doubt is the power of the
human mind to affect potent changes imbued by the strength of belief.
Only when we discard the evidence of the occult and seek to trivialise
its influence as a parlour game with silly costumes and lighted candles
(though this exists as well) do we become prey to the same comfortable
fantasies and illusions that prove so useful for those who corral and
control.What emerges in the 21st
Century is the cool, calculating logic of machine-consciousness and
mapped to the esoteric science of ancient wisdom. We are talking about
people who have an entirely different take on reality to our own. So
much so, that they effectively exist as a breakaway civilisation living apart in both a material and perceptual sense. What if it were indeed true that the
suppression of technology and ancient knowledge had been taking place
for centuries? Do you think that such a possibility is rational or is it
just a product of our overactive imaginations?Judging from the way history has
clearly shown us that the long-term hoarding and suppression of
knowledge not only took place but is actively occurring today, it is a
strong probability that the elite manifestation of wealth consolidation
is a descriptor pointing to something much deeper. Namely, an esoteric
knowledge linked to Earth Changes and celestial catastrophism and the
pathological hubris that they can lie safely in their bunkers and ride
out the storm. From the ashes they hope to rise phoenix-like from the
ashes they have helped to create. Hence the importance of 9/11 as ritual
ignition which aligns with the caricatures of religious fundamentalist
eschatology and the promise of a New World.

If a collection of psychopathic cabals have technology and power to make fantasy and illusion appear real,
at least for a while, and to wreak the destruction that they have, we
could also posit the idea that there is the kind of knowledge and
technology which would appear as “magical” to us as a computer would
have done to Medieval man. In this context, the occult symbolism may
align to such a destructive technology /weaponry which blurs the
boundary between mind and matter. In the hands of psychopaths we have
seen the very gates of hell opened.And we may wonder indeed what we have allowed in. Exactly who these people are is
immaterial as we will only ever see the barest trace of their footprints
by the light the moon, and their Saturnine calling card is played out
through Kabbalistic numerology and sacred geometry. And what fun they have with the masses!

This, unfortunately is the literal
gateway to host of other numerical matches, symbols and metaphors that
pile up one after the other until finally, there is a coherent framework
of occult meaning. Yet we cannot see the significance because most of
us have not been educated to understand symbolism both in terms of the
occult and in terms of the more simple motifs which arise from the
landscape of our inner life in general. Therefore, as part of our
cultural paradigm of Cartesian/Darwinian materialism we are educated to
believe that such things cannot possibly play a part in our lives.When a practical, community-centered
living and healthy connection to nature and art was replaced by the “Age
of Reason” and the onset of an extreme scientific rationalism, it
helped to banish harmful superstitions but to also sever the connection
to Universal Creativity and myth. This change in human focus eventually
led to a pathological emphasis on materialism as the source of meaning.
Over time we have been shaped into a techno-narcissistic culture bereft
of the significance of ancient wisdom based on service; the oral
tradition and relevance of dreams; the lost knowledge of social and
community relationships which without using rose-coloured spectacles,
nonetheless provided emotional nourishment and spiritual pragmatism.
Carefully managed belief systems by perception management teams since
the early part of the 20th Century have determined what we consider
worthy for our attention without our even knowing that these thought
streams our not our own. Cultural osmosis does the rest. Whereas Freud embraced the nihilistic
dead-end of psychoanalysis and its obsession with death and sex, Swiss
psychologist Car Jung based much of his life’s work on the importance of
the soul and a re-enchantment of the concept of Self, which he believed
worked through the unconscious and a rich dream symbology. The loss of
awareness concerning cultural motifs, archetypes and metaphor has left
us at the mercy of those who have retained such knowledge having
inverted it towards their own twisted visions. The occultists – black
and white – had already been accessing these archetypes, elemental
motifs and Gods and Goddesses in order to “create reality” according to
their wishes for a very long time. Jung’s genius was to formalise some
of the mechanisms and processes whilst offering some academic credence
along the way.Occult historian and symbologist
Michael Tsarion suggests that we are suffering from “a chronic symbol
illiteracy” largely drawn from the use of subliminal persuasion in media
and advertising which he terms: “a psychic dictatorship.” He explains
how our present culture uses: “… the deliberate and subversive
manipulation and public purveyance of words, images, numbers, colors,
rhythms, and symbols which are subsequently directed, via ubiquitous
media oracles, toward the limbic areas of the human brain.” Tsarion
believes that this is in part the cause of many physical and
psychological disorders, especially in the young, bombarded as they are
by: “elaborate and insidious cryptic language specifically designed to
stimulate conflict between fantasy and reality” which over time,
eventually undermines healthy drives and normal functioning of the human
unit. As we have witnessed, the young are primary targets of
exploitation at virtually every level of human endeavour. Hardly
surprising then that we have all been led down a singular path toward a
very bleak future.He further explains:

The young are, by
definition, closer to the creative force than the average adult. They
are also more influenced by the limbic brain and, therefore, respond
with greater zeal to the erotic and even perverse symbolic messages
which have become increasingly pervasive in their life- and think-space.
The invasive, clandestinely directed, content has been adroitly
designed to bypass their moral conscience and rational filters. The
results of this psychic dictatorship are devastating. […] Subliminal messages permeate
television programs, computer games, magazines, billboards, products,
and musical productions. They are, however, not limited to the ambience
of the young. They are just one of the weapons in the arsenal of
psychopathic corporations whose entire modus operandi concerns profit
and dehumanization. All that is truly aesthetic, traditional, cultural
or substantial merely stands in the way of their monopolistic
stratagems, their aggressive, relentless efforts at reducing the entire
human race to a body of narcissistic, sense-infatuated, desensitized,
amoral, immoral or actively criminal ‘smiling depressives.’”[2]

The author makes a point of
describing the coordinators and designers of certain mass-appeal
programmes such as MTV, Big Brother, X-Factor and others as the product
of “technological witchdoctors and cyber-space sorcerers” using a
variety of techniques: “… such as Tele-hypnosis, Metacontrast, Hemisync,
Synaesthenia, and Embedding … with the same deadly effect as any past
voodoo, sorcery, or telepathy.” [3]Let’s also remember the pernicious
infection of Nazi ideology that has seeped into ritual symbolism and
mind control and contributed to the entrainment of a whole population.
The same principles have been in operation, most aggressively, since
after the Second World War. It was not that the Anglo-American-Israeli
Elite were new to such occult inversions but that they actively
encouraged the Germanic revival, precisely because they were historically its designated carriers, and cognizant of the power of symbols.

When advertisers, marketers and
public relations are under the guiding hand of this oligarchical
patronage then it is easy to understand why numbers and symbols play
such an important role in societal programming. It is for this reason
that signs and symbols which have become part of the collective
unconscious and cultural fabric of everyday life can be flipped on their
head and manipulated to produce a particular response.As we have seen, the ubiquitous
presence of freemasonic / Illuminist lore is founded on the magickal
formulas of the Kabbalah which in turn, is drawn from the influence of
Babylonian Talmudism from over two thousand years ago. It has since
permeated both Jewish and Catholic traditions, the entertainment
culture forming the basis of occult magick across all Establishment
lines. It is the esoteric language of the Elite which author Philip D.
Collins believes can be deciphered, provided we have a basic awareness
of the language of signs, otherwise known as “semiotics”. The study of esoteric signs falls into three categories which Collins outlines as:

Iconic: These signs normally resemble something else. They are approximations, facsimiles. Examples: statues, pictures.Indexical:
Like the index in the back of a book, these signs refer the percipient
to something else. They are used to establish causal or physical
relationships. Examples: Smoke is commonly an indexical sign for fire. A
shadow is normally an indexical sign for a physical body in front of
some light source.Symbols:
These signs express some convention and hold a shared meaning for those
interpolated into the culture. These signs must be learned. Examples:
Words, numbers, flags. Complementing
this is also “Intertextual reference” which denotes the creative “…
correlation between more than one text, thus augmenting a sign’s
meaning.” [4]

Collins provides examples of many
narratives within media and entertainment which: “‘… embody the
paradigmatic character of the situation and images surrounding 9-11”
where such “… synchronicities were consciously engineered by the
entertainment industrial complex.” Intrinsic to certain films’ blatant
and subtle imaging such as the ‘America under attack’ meme in Pearl Harbour (2001); Independence Day (2001); along with the more esoteric examples such as 2001 A Space Odyssey
(1969). Most of the literature and later films of H.G. Wells are all
also examples of “paradigmatic templates” which were then promulgated
vigorously by Establishment media organs in order to be “… instrumental
in creating a cultural milieu that would be hospitable to future media
manipulations.” And perhaps most importantly: “By the time of the WTC
attacks, the collective subconscious of America was fertile with memes
(contagious ideas) planted by [such films].” [5]In the same vain, Collins includes an example of intertextual referencing care of Zbigniew Brzezinski’s seminal book: The Grand Chessboard
where the statesman delineated the geo-strategy by which America would
attain global primacy and eventual one world government. He states: “…
as America becomes an increasingly multi-cultural society, it may find
it more difficult to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues,
exception the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived
direct external threat.” [6]In other words, he is saying “listen guys: the next phase is approaching for manufacturing that next “threat”. Here’s how….

“Illuminati” is a stand alone card game made by Steve Jackson Games (SJG) in 1995 and inspired by the 1975 book, The Illuminatus! Trilogy, by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea. (wikipedia)

We have looked at the idea of Hollywood engineering in ‘Official Culture: “Lights, Camera, Reaction!”
From a variety of cultural sources ranging from films, literature and
US Department training manuals there are many examples of what amounts
to intentional “psychic entraining” “Predictive programming” or on
occasion, perhaps the innocent intuition of future events, which is much
more common than we may think.Filmed in January 2000 and aired on US TV networks in April 3 2001, an episode of The Lone Gunman[7] – a spin off from the X-files series – told of a plot to hijack planes and crash them into the World Trade Centre.Here’s a short extract from the transcript:

What is Scenario 1 2D? We
know it’s a war-game scenario that it has to do with airline
counterterrorism…. Why is it important enough to kill for? Because it’s no longer a game.But if some terrorist group wants to act out this scenario why target you for assassination?Depends on who your terrorists are.The men who conceived of it in the
first place….. You’re saying our government plans to commit a terrorist
act against a domestic airline — There you go, indicting the entire government as usual. It’s a faction, a small faction.For what possible gain? The cold war’s over John but with no
clear enemy to stockpile against, the arms market’s flat. But bring down
a fully loaded 727 into the middle of New York City and you’ll find a
dozen tin-pot dictators all over the world just clamoring to take
responsibility and begging to be smart-bombed.I can’t believe it.This is about increasing arms sales.

An astonishingly accurate appraisal
of the situation, I think you’ll agree. If the writers of the series
dealing with conspiracy plot-lines can predict such a thing, one might
ask why the US military-intelligence did not? (Perhaps because they were
already involved in making it a reality?) You can see James Corbett’s analysis
of the actors and writers involved and how they handled such a highly
accurate rendering of what took place just four and half months later. Innocent coincidence? Psychic
“bleed-through”? Or just another one of those occasions where an insider
has a little game with the public?

“Diehard” (1988)

Two years before heralded the Die Hard
film franchise which involved a very successful blend of high suspense,
evil European terrorists and a very tall building. It was another case
of intertextual and symbolic entrainment. There are also literal
references to September 11th in the script itself all
packaged up with flying, terrorists, towers and 9/11. It has been one of
the most popular series of films ever made firmly implanting the idea
of terrorists as independent external threats to government and law and
order. The terrorist meme has been replayed in countless, films and T.V.
shows ever since. There are many more examples too numerous to mention
with the shadow of Pentagon help looming large in the background. The key protagonist and inspiration
for this occult-propaganda onslaught was provided by the occultist and
British intelligence operative Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) who famously
appointed himself as the “Great Beast.” Crowley’s views meshed neatly
with much of early Illuminism which rode the resurgence in occult
practice in the 19th and twentieth centuries: depopulation,
elitism, sex magick, ritual invocation, all tied up with the same
Weishauptian principles of Revolution. The masses were viewed by Crowley
in much same way as any other members of the puppet Elite from
Kissinger to Rockefeller, Prince Philip to Brzezinski. He stated: “We
should have no compunction in utilising the natural qualities of the
bulk of mankind. We do not insist in trying to train sheep to hunt foxes
or lecture on history; we look after their physical well-being and
enjoy their wool and mutton. In this way, we shall have a contented
class of slaves who accept the conditions of their existence as they
really are and enjoy life with the quiet wisdom of the cattle.” [8]

Aleister Crowley in 1912 and the doyen of Anglo-American occult

Once you have researched every aspect and nuance of the September 11th
attacks for many years the feeling one derives from the theories,
evidence, science (and endless noise) is that all of it is somehow designed to be suspicious. It is meant
to be confusing, silly and almost satirical in its cruelty; placing
clues and smokescreens to distract and misinform. Much of the official
story is so obviously hackneyed in its planning where non-sequiturs and
logical fallacies abound that the researcher is led to a mix of truth
and lies in equal measure. It is a masterly exercise in the tradition of
an occult trickster, worthy of Hermes himself and implies a keen
understanding of crowd psychology and the internet society. Historian Michael A. Hoffman II
characterises the depth of the game to which we are, to a greater or
lesser degree all unconscious participants in his book Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare (1989) which, although written well before September 11th
confirms: “… a physical, technological tyranny as well as a tyranny of
the mind,” where: “The issue of controlling humanity with esoteric words
and symbols encoded within a play, a media spectacular or a ritual is
one of the most difficult for people to comprehend … Even as [we] dance…
to the tune of the elite managers of human behavior, [we] scoff… with
great derision at the idea of the existence and operation of a
technology of mass mind control emanating from the media and
government.” [9]Hoffman is convinced that the power
of ritual murder has enormous psychological repercussions upon a
clueless populace, wholly unaware that technology is now enmeshed with
ritualistic programming via music, media, advertising and false-flag
military operations equalling a physical and psychic attack on a mass
scale. He asserts that these “mega-rituals” are: “… not solely bound to
the achievement of the immediate effects of the attack on the victim,
but may in fact be a part of a larger, symbolic ritual magnified by the
power of the electronic media, for the purpose of the alchemical
processing of the subconscious Group Mind of the masses.” Hoffman tells
us that “it is the subconscious that is being addressed in occult
ritual, in a process CIA behavioural scientist Dr. Ewan Cameron termed,
‘psychic driving.’” [10]It is this process that by-passes
critical thinking, making discussion on subjects such as the 9/11
attacks almost impossible in Official Culture. It is clear that “The
Black Arts adepts” and their involvement in the orchestration of 9/11
along occult lines are not mad in the sense of mindless lunacy. They are
in fact responsible for a: “a brilliantly orchestrated ritual whose
ceremonial aspects were as precise and detailed as the internal workings
of a clock.” [11]We would do well to be cognizant of this possibility and never underestimate the ritualistic nature of mass mind controls.https://infrakshun.wordpress.com/article-series-chronological/
